Group giveaway guide - when you create a giveaway and someone wins DON'T deliver gift until:

Check your winner has 7 or less wins on their profile.
(unless it was open to gifters / multi group giveaway)

Check your winner is still a group member by visiting their STEAM profile. Like this

Make sure your winner has the gifts activated in their account, alot of new members don't bother reading rules.

Can I enter to win a gift for my friend / family / brother / cousin / dog / pet gerbil?
Gifts have to be activated in your account. This is a steamgifts rule.
If your friends want to join, have them apply here.

You don't have to enter all group giveaways - Remember you only have up to 8 gifts so choose wisely!
Its actually much preferred if you only enter giveaways for games you actually want.

Can non gifters create giveaways for the group?
'Normal' members can also create group giveaways for each other. Actually this is encouraged.

Can I join the group as both gifter as normal member?
You can join the group as both, or become a gifter once you have won the gift quota.

I have more than 8 wins but not all wins are from the group, do I still have to leave?
Yes, the win count refers to your steamgifts account, it is not group specific.

I have to leave the group but still have ongoing group giveaways I am part of, can I still win those?
No, if you have to leave please exit all ongoing group giveaways you are a part of.
We get very angry when we have to perform dozens of re-rolls on people that left / were kicked from group days ago and still "win" group giveaways.

I am a gifter but have less than 8 wins on steamgifts, can I enter group giveaways for normal members?
yes, once you reach 8 or more wins you become a full 'gifter'. Until then you can enter all 'normal' group giveaways.

I am a gifter and want to enter 'open to gifters' giveaways. Why do I need this silly +7 gift difference rule?
This is not a ratio group, however, we've had cases of people not understanding that 'gifter' members should be...gifting.
So if we see a "Gifter" that won 20 gifts in group and only gave away 3 bad rats we will be angry.screenshot of gift difference

Edit 25th August 2019: I kicked inactive members that have not used Steamgifts in 2019. It is possible that I clicked the wrong line by mistake and kicked someone who is active here. If I have done so, please post in this thread and you will be re-invited.

Edit 23rd April 2020: As there are quite a lot users who do not care for the requirements of the gorup and just try to join on Steam, please do not post here afterwards, I probably will not invite you. There might be exception for active SG users who can give a good explanation for their mistake.

Hey! Can I join? I'm not exactly an "unlucky steamgifter," since I'm new and I've yet to come up short in enough giveaways to feel like I'm cursed, but I have given away 7+ games and would like to be part of another group. I'm only interested in winning games I'm likely to jump into in the very near future, and my backlog is already fairly clogged, so if accepted I'll probably end up sticking around in the group for a while--I'll make sure to give back to it for as long as it'll have me!

Can i join ? i kinda miss read the rules and applied directly on group and got rejected. Sorry for that . I've won only 2 betas that disappeared from my account because their beta times ended. Thank you in advance.

I've got 8 wins and already leave the steam group, but I don't know why I'm still able to join giveaways from this group. If I did something wrong, please remove me from the group properly. Apologize for any inconvenience and thank you very much for the chance to win giveaways.
